Hello from Minnesota! Cleaning out space, letting go of stuff that no longer fits on my journey. Reflecting on my travels, as an integrating two spirited, son, & father, handling things that used to baffle me, neither living in the past nor closing the door on it, blessed by the support of my emerging family of choice. Thanks to the ancestors, those who share this journey. Peace love joy. Wichozani! Mitakuye Oyasin, “we are all related” “Wir sind all Verwanten” “nous sommes tous relies.”

Buckthorn in a Sussex Natural Habitat!

I was surprised to find this tree, considered an invasive weed in Minnesota, as part of this forest and clearing habitat. The buckthorn, hawthorn, blackberries and yews all growing in the same area and actually quite beautiful fruits. By their fruits ye shall know them. Wonder if Linneaus myself thought that. Anyway.
